The Impact of Public Transfer Income on Catastrophic Health Expenditures for Households With Disabilities in Korea

CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the positive effect of PTI on decreasing CHE. Household income and the health insurance type were significant effect modifiers, but economic barriers seemed to persist among low-income households with non-Medical Aid beneficiaries. Federal policies or programs should consider increasing the total amount of PTI targeting low-income households with disabilities that are not covered by the Medical Aid program.PMID:36746424 | DOI:10.3961/jpmph.22.183
